>> leon panetta is never fully checked out. there's nothing going unsecure. there's no lapse in power structure at the pentagon. >> panetta still gets daily briefings, updates on the war in afghanistan and signs deployment orders but president obama wants the new guy. >> i'm still presiding over a war in afghanistan and i need a secretary of defense. >> but if hagel gets confirmed, can he work with congress after the bruising nomination fight? >> he comes in to office lacking political capital and that's exactly what you need as a secretary of defense. >> so if panetta is confirmed, one of the first decisions he may have to make is how to deal with military spending cuts if there is no budget deal with congress and nothing upsets congress more than cuts in spending in their own home states. so the beginning of the bumpy ride for chuck hagel may happen as soon as he's confirmed, if he is confirmed. jim? >> barbara starr at the pentagon, thank you. and we now can take you out to chicago where president obama is getting started with his remarks. he is in his hom

while we wait for secretary panetta, the u.s. chamber of commerce held its quarterly economic briefing. they talked about automatic spending cuts set to take place next month. here is a look at some of his comments. >> the worst aspect of sequestration is not the overall cut. we know we need to trim spending and cut or change the trajectory of our spending going forward, predominantly entitlement spending. without that, i do not think we will ever get our budget under control. we will be downgraded by the other ratings agencies. we will start to see interest rate increases and the people who hold our debt around the world less interested in holding it. all of those will affect the u.s. economy. when i look at sequestration, i do not look at the cuts per se as impacting the economy. they are not going to help growth in the short term. they have offsetting factors that mitigates the negative. the problem with sequestration is the way the cuts will take place. what we tell our congressmen and since these when we send them to washing
